We discuss nonlinear nonlocal equations with fractional diffusion describing electroconvection phenomena in incompressible viscous fluids. We prove the global well-posedness, global regularity and long time dynamics of the model in bounded smooth domains with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove the existence and uniqueness of exponentially decaying in time solutions for H 1 H^1 initial data regardless of the fractional dissipative regularity. In the presence of time independent body forces in the fluid, we prove the existence of a compact finite dimensional global attractor. In the case of periodic boundary conditions, we prove that the unique smooth solution is globally analytic in time, and belongs to a Gevrey class of functions that depends on the dissipative regularity of the model.
